While Jeff the Killer is a popular modern urban legend, originating from the internet to scare people. His story centers around a troubled young teen who starts killing people.

One that will be talked about is that one must be cautious. In some of the books the younger growing character will be told to be patent or cautious when dealing with a problem. Now going to the idea how the problems in the books can relate to real life problems. One that is a popular one is Blaggut a rat that was a boatswain on the ship Pearl Queen (Brian Jacques, the bellmaker). Now the problem is he followed his captain a rat called Slipp, now Slipp was a bad creature that at the end of the book he killed one of the members in Redwall Abbey, Blaggut being more of a kinder creature even though he is a rat which are usually bad in the books, when faced with his captain killing someone he decided to not follow his captain but to kill his captain as revenge.

The king demonstrates his cruelness by having an unfair justice system because it does not truly tell whether the accused is guilty or innocent and it is used more for entertainment than for justice. For Example, the justice system is used to entertain the people and the king. On page 269 the narrator explains “The institution was a very popular one. When the people gathered together on one of the great trial days, they never knew whether they were to witness a bloody slaughter or a hilarious wedding.” This quote exhibits how the justice system is used for entertainment because of the joy and sorrow a person gets from coming to the arena to watch a man choose his fate.
Senator McCarthy denounces more than two hundred government workers for being card-carrying communists. However, with the concerns of communism increasing in the East Asia and Europe, he believes that these accusations are justifiable due to the communists who allegedly infiltrated the U.S. government. “Known as McCarthyism, the paranoid hunt for infiltrators was notoriously difficult on writers and entertainers, many of whom were labeled as communist sympathizers and were unable to continue working” (213). These accusations are unjust to the people who are not actually communist sympathizers, it is difficult for one to speak up against these falsities.

Both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are playing this position when the dead body of King Duncan is found and they respond with phrases like “Woe, alas! / What, in our house?”
As a counterpart of Utopia, there’s Dystopia or anti-utopia which is the ultimately flawed world. The Word dystopia was first used in 1868 by John Stuart Mill in a parliamentary speech to describe the opposite of a Utopia. This form of literature was created by writers to parodies and subverts the utopian tradition also it is used as a warning against things which are happening in the contemporary society. Ferns states in Narrating Utopia: "Rather than liberating humanity from the constraints imposed by nature, technology becomes the instrument for the imposition of a far more rigorous tyranny—a tyranny of purely human agency. "The central fears in Dystopias are: first, the idea of totalitarianism, second, the invasion of technological progress
Dystopian Societies A dystopian society by definition is the exact opposite of a utopia. This means that nothing is perfect, or peaceful. Everything is chaos and nothing works out right.
